Wattle Day - Spring Celebration & Fundraiser
01/09/2018
Background
Since 1922 National Wattle Day has been celebrated on 1 st September but before
then was celebrated on different days across the states as far back as 1910.
Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) has been the floral emblem of Australia since
before Federation ….and of course our national colours are green and gold.
It’s a day to celebrate whatever you wish about our Great Southern Land: the end of
winter and the coming of spring, our history, our environment, bushland decked in
sprays of gold…or simply just being Australian, whatever that may mean to you: a
fair go, the larrikin spirit, generosity, our welcoming nature and democratic traditions.
Acacias have been used by the First Australians for thousands of years. Great tracts
of Australian country carry the Aboriginal name of the wattle species common in the
area… Myall, Mulga, Brigalow and Gidgee for example. We have close to 1,000
species of wattle and at any given time there is wattle blooming somewhere across
our vast continent.
About a hundred of these were put to good use by our First Australians. The seeds
and roots of wattles were a popular food source. Wattle gum was a snack food and
wichetty grubs lived in them. The Aborigines had many different methods of
preparing medicines from wattle plants including a form of narcotic called pituri which
was produced from the ash of several wattle species.
Wood from wattles was used to produce weapons and implements such as
boomerangs and coolamons and it was excellent slow burning firewood. The bark of
many species could be used to produce string for bags and nets and the tree was
also used to make clap sticks for ceremonies.
So on September 1 st wish somebody Happy Wattle
Day and join us at the Hall from 5pm for some
music & fun
